Powerful enablers who up until this week had stuck by Donald Trump as he incited and practically begged his supporters to unleash violence are suddenly over it. The very people whod spent years treating Trump rallies as nothing more than walk-in dioramas of hatecartoonishly evil but still just a cartoonare suddenly issuing blistering statements. Tweeting curse words. Saying enough of this president. But lets be real: The panicked efforts were seeing this week are nothing more than a performance of strained morality and self-pity.
Kelly Ann Conway:
The former Trump adviser and prolific liar once had quite the self-serving spin on the violence she now claims to reject. The more chaos and anarchy and vandalism and violence reigns, Conway told Fox & Friends in August, the better it is for the very clear choice on whos best on public safety and law and order.

The 147 Republicans Who Voted to Overturn
When the Senate reconvened at 8 p.m., and the House of Representatives an hour later, the proceedings including the objection debates continued, although some lawmakers who had previously planned to vote with the objectors stood down following the occupation of the Capitol. Plans to challenge a number of states after Arizona were scrapped, as well but one other objection, to Pennsylvanias results, also advanced to a vote. Here are the eight senators and 139 representatives who voted to sustain one or both objections.
